As part of the digital event series "Consumer Protection at Noon" organized by the Ministry for Family, Women, Culture, and Integration of Rhineland-Palatinate, in collaboration with ConPolicy, current consumer policy issues are regularly discussed. In the upcoming event on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM, experts on the digital panel will discuss the question of how scoring could become more consumer-friendly.
Whether it's a mobile phone contract, rental apartment, or car loan, consumers are often faced with the question of their creditworthiness. A crucial factor in this regard is scoring, which involves assessing the creditworthiness and payment behavior of individuals. The economic importance of credit reporting agencies such as SCHUFA is undisputed in preventing credit defaults and overindebtedness. However, new players and business models constantly enter the market, working with consumer data. The recent ruling of the European Court of Justice changes the possibilities of using automatically generated scores.
Consumer Protection State Secretary Janosch Littig invites you to an engaging exchange with Justus Leonhardt (Head of Berlin Office, SCHUFA Holding AG), Johannes Müller (Finance Market Team, Federation of German Consumer Organizations), Natascha Reifert (Expert, The German Association of Credit Reporting Agencies, and Head of Compliance, CRIF GmbH), as well as Prof. Dr. Dr. Gert Wagner (former member of the Expert Council for Consumer Affairs (SVRV)).
The event will be moderated by ConPolicy Managing Director Prof. Dr. Christian Thorun.
